Summer Sampler Series Anthology for Sale!

In the summer of 2011 Faith of 

Fresh Lemons Quilts and Lee of Freshly Pieced and I co-hosted the  Summer Sampler Series quilt-along.

At the time, modern traditionalism was just starting to catch on; many quilters were just starting to realize that traditional blocks are a great source of design inspiration. Now, a year and a half later, there is an entire category of the Quilt Con show dedicated to "modern traditionalism!”

Since then, we have received a number of requests for the Summer Sampler Series tutorials, paper-piecing templates, tips, and more in one convenient package. We are excited to announce that the Summer Sampler Series Anthology, a pdf download, is available for just $9.99! You can purchase the Summer Sampler Series Anthology here:

Summer Sampler Series PDF

The Summer Sampler Series is an excellent skillbuilder--you learn (or can practice) a variety of skills including half-square triangles, flying geese, bias piecing, paper-piecing, piecing equilateral triangles and diamonds, hourglass units, and string piecing. The pdf is 86 pages with 150 full color pictures, block and paper piecing instructions, templates, and helpful hints! Lee has done most (all!) of the work, and her background in design shows. The Anthology itself is really beautiful [and includes the tutorials from the 2011 Quilt Along, not the updated 2021 Quilt Along].

Additionally, in 2021, we held a 10th Anniversary Quilt along, with updated tutorials.
